An impartial inquiry into the nature of sin. : In which are evidently proved its positive entity or being, the true original of its existence; the essentiall parts of its composition, by reason, authority, divine, humane, antient, modern,-- Romane. Reformed. The adversaries confessions and contradictions; the judgement of experience and common sense; partly extorted by Mr. Hickman's challenge, partly by the influence which his errour hath had on the lives of many, (especially on the practice of our last and worst times,) but chiefly intended as an amulet to prevent the like mischiefs in time to come. To which is added an appendix; in vindication of Doctor Hammond; with the concurrence of Doctor Sanderson; the Oxford visitors impleaded; the supreme authority asserted; together with diverse other subjects, whose heads are gathered in the contents. After all a postscript concerning some dealings of Mr. Baxter. /
